An all new and endearing friends-to-lovers story…
The One for Me by New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels is now live!
Devney Maxwell has been my best friend since we were six years old, but she has no idea I'm in love with her.
Even when I'm on the road playing professional baseball, she's my home--the only one I've ever known. But when I return to Sugarloaf to care for the family farm, I discover she's trying to talk herself into a life with the wrong man ... and I become desperate.
It only takes a single, perfect kiss to change everything.
I have six months to get it right with Devney--to convince her to leave this town and turn that kiss into forever.
I aim to do just that as I spend my days coaching her nephew's baseball team, fixing up the farm, and loving her with all I have. Finally, it seems like our relationship is secure and we'll find a way to make it work.
Then tragedy strikes ... changing her life forever. She's needed here more than ever, but as for me--there's no way I can stay.
I know she's the one for me, but I might have to let her go ...

There’s not much I can say about Corinne Michaels’ writing that hasn’t been said already. Prior to starting her stories, I always know that I’m going to be consumed by it because it’s just the way it’s always been! Her writing is always so beautiful. She always has the best heroes that have every girl swooning. Let’s not forget, she will always have us wiping our tears away! You just can’t go wrong with any story you pick up from this amazing author.
The One For Me didn’t lack anything that I mentioned above. Sean is going to capture every girls’ heart with this friends to lovers romance! He is completely swoon worthy right along with all the Arrowood brothers! Devney is a sweet gem as well. They were both good for each other, and I loved seeing the way Sean was there for her when things got hard. I really liked Austin as well. He was cute and funny and really looked up to his Aunt Devney.
So with that said, if you have already been reading The Arrowood Brothers series and loving it just as much as I have, then this won’t be any different. Just one click now and continue on your journey of these heart throbbing brothers!!
-Review by Juls
Excerpt:
“Don’t play that crap with me, Sean Arrowood. I know you better. You want the wife and kids. You always have. The issue that you have is that you’re stupid.”
“Stupid?”
She nods. “Yup. S-T-U-P-I-D. And dumb.”
“They mean the same thing.”
“It required the extra punctuation at the end.”
God, I love the side of her that is smart-mouthed, fearless, and relaxed. She’s only this way with me. Or at least, that’s what I’d like to think.
The last ten years have been hard on our friendship. We both went off to college, I had baseball and she was studying. We’d see each other on breaks, but after the accident that changed the trajectory of my life, I stayed in Maine, and we rarely saw each other.
However, when I had a series in New York, Devney came. If I was in Philly, she would find a way to meet me, and I flew her down to Tampa a few times.
Now, though, I’ll be around her so much more, and I know these feelings aren’t going to go away, they’ll get stronger.
Yeah, I guess I really am stupid.
“Well, I may be stupid, but at least I’m not settling.”
She sits up, slapping her hand on the couch cushion. “Settling?”
“Yeah. You may love Oliver, but he doesn’t make you crazy.”
Devney shifts back. “You’re making me crazy right now.”
“Good.”
“You’re infuriating!”
I shrug. “You love me.”
“It helps that you’re hot.” Devney quickly covers her hand over her mouth. “I did not mean it that like that.”
I grin and lean toward her. “You think I’m hot?”
“I think you’re mediocre. God knows your harem of . . . whatever you call them . . . think you are.”
For so long I’ve fought against telling her anything about how I feel. How those women are faceless and mean nothing to me. It’s always her. Always a brunette who I seek out, hoping to find just a piece of something like her that I can cling to, but I never say it.
Then I wonder, maybe this is the perfect time. Oliver is going to propose. Oliver will marry her, and I won’t have a god damn thing to say about it because I will have never told her.
Plus, she’s drunk.
Maybe she won’t remember it.
“Maybe so, but I’m not asking them. Plus, all the girls I’m attracted to look like you.”
Devney laughs while shaking her head. “Well, it has to be tough kissing your best friend, right?”
And in that moment, I know what I’m going to do. It doesn’t matter that it’s stupid or wrong. I no longer care about her boyfriend or how this moment will undoubtedly change everything between us because she will marry him when he asks. Devney won’t falter. She’ll cling to the safe, and I am not that, but I love her.
I lean closer and her eyes study my movement. With a trembling hand, I cup her face and brush my thumb against her soft skin. Everything freezes around us as I feel the warmth emanating from her. Our breaths mingle as the distance closes. “I don’t know, but I’d like to see if it’s tough to kiss you.”
I wait, giving her one last chance to push me away, but instead, her tongue moves against her pink lips, which is all the invitation I need.
I lean in, my lips touch hers, and I know my life hasn’t just changed, it’s been completely upended.
